Colorful Birthday Card Set - Croatian Sentiment (bastel-traum challenge #98)

Hi everyone :o)

It's time for a new challenge over at bastel-traum and our theme for the challenge #98 is Birthday. :o)

The challenge started today, February 15th, 2021, at 9 AM, CET (UTC +1) and ends on March 15th, 2021, at 8:55 AM, CET (UTC +1). Find all the details about the challenge, rules and prizes in a challenge post (here).

And here is my take on the challenge: Colorful Birthday Card Set - Croatian Sentiment. :o)

To make this card set I was inspired with two Card Sets that I created in 2019 (here and here).

I went with same design, used same products, just used a different patterned paper from Lawn Fawn 'Really Rainbow' petite paper pack.

I used a same speech bubble stamp from Jane's Doodles 'Croatian Sentiments' stamp set. Sretan rođendan means Happy Birthday. :o)

How I made this card set...

I stamped the speech bubble twelve times on a white cardstock paper and fussy cut them out leaving a white thin border around them. I fixed some lines with a black fine liner.

I cut a white cardstock paper and folded card bases, 3 1/4" x 3 1/4". 

Then I cut patterned papers on 3" x 3" size squares.

 

With all parts ready, I assembled cards. I glued patterned papers on white card bases, glued some foam squares on speech bubbles and glued them on cards and the set was finished. :o)

Super easy and quick to create. :o)

Card measurements: 83 mm x 83 mm (3 1/4" x 3 1/4")

• Jane's Doodles 'Croatian Sentiments' stamp set
• Lawn Fawn 'Really Rainbow' petite paper pack

12 Days of Christmas - Day 9 - Two CAS Reindeer Cards

Hi everyone! :o)

Welcome to 9th Day of my 12 Days of Christmas Series.

Today I want to share with you these two CAS (clean and simple) Reindeer Cards.

 

To make these cards, I CASEd (copied and shared everything) my own card that I shared here on my blog in November 2020 (here). I went with same design, color scheme, used same techniques and products, I just worked directly on card bases on today's cards. :o)

How I made the card...

I ink blended Distress Inks directly on a white cardstock paper card base. When I was satisfied with the color, I splattered the card base with a water, dabbed the surface with a paper towel and left the card to dry on air.

Then I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water, splattered the card base and again left it dry on air.

Then I die cut three reindeer in the white cardstock paper and glued them together (stacked them). I glued stacked reindeer on the card and my card was finished. :o)

I repeated same for the second card, I just rotated the layout. :o) I really like this color combination and card design. :o)

Horizontal Card measurements: 127 mm x 95 mm (5" x 3 3/4")

Vertical Card measurements: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Wiler Creativity Cutting Dies, reindeer die cut (gift from a dear friend Alice of Scrap & C... THANK YOU ALICE!!! ♥)

Aloe Vera Card Set (CASology Week #368 mid-inspiration)

Hi everyone! :o)

Last Tuesday, May 12th, 2020, a new challenge started at CASology. This fortnight's cue word is Plant. :o)

Due to some unexpected work situation and deadlines I had to meet, I didn't have the time to prepare my take on the challenge on time, so I'm bringing it today as mid-inspiration.There's still plenty of time to join the challenge, which ends on Monday, May 25th, 2020, 9 AM, CDT (UTC -5).

We also have a sponsor for this challenge: STAMPlorations. Find all details about the prize over at CASology blog.

And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), Aloe Vera Card Set. :o)

Design defined: 

Paper piecing works well with CAS cards.

How I made my cards....

To make this card set I CASEd (copy and share everything) my own card that I made in October 2016 (here). I went with same design, layout, color scheme, used same products, but there are some differences. :o)

For this card set I used stamps from Jane's Doodles 'Cactus' stamp set and a patterned paper from Create a Smile 'Sending Sunshine' kit. :o)

I stamped images on 2 different design papers, fussy cut them out and traced their edges with black marker. I arranged them and glued directly on white top folded card bases. I glued a stripe of a design paper on each card base, same paper I used for pots. Then I stamped a sentiment directly on card bases, partly covering pots.

Then I highlighted letters, aloe veras and stripes on the striped design paper.

As a finishing touch, I embellished cards with grey enamel dots and my card set was finished. :o) 

Card measurements: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Cactus' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• designer paper from Create a Smile 'Sending Sunshine' kit

Then I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water, splattered the front panel and left it dry on air. :o)

I repeated the same on other cards. :o)

I love how my cards turned out!! :o)

Cards measurements: 95 mm x 133 mm (3 3/4" x 5 1/4")
